70s down for fredericksburg. middle 60s. and way out to the west, still sitting in the middle 60s. here's the forecast for the evening hours. clouds at 7:00. spotty shower by 9:00 and that will carry on through the evening hours. i have to believe though that most of this evening is going to be dry. the rain is still way back out to the west of us. and you can see right here on satellite and radar together, there's a couple little spotty showers trying to pop up on this side of the mountains. most of this is going to be evaporating and on over to the west. i think most of the rain will come through with this main batch overnight tonight. and it will be with us for most of the evening hours or morning hours, pardon me. all of this is being driven by a frontal system through ohio right now. and earlier i showed you the snow. it's no big deal with you represents how cold the air mass is farther to the west

and the northwest. the up michigan northern sections, the snow is flying out there. and probably see some snow into chicago as well. future cast shows tonight at 6:00, that's where the rain is. we just showed you that. watch how it comes on across. and by tomorrow morning, still some lingering rain here. so unfortunately it looks like the morning commute will be wet. that's never a good thing. it will clear out of here. break into sunshine by the afternoon. and means that tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening's commute will stay dry. the winds will be blustery behind the front and feel colder. 49 tonight. winds will be picking up 10 to 20 miles an hour. as the showers come through, not expecting thunder storms and not expecting anything heavy. may amount to a quarter of an inch, some places could get a half an inch tomorrow, late morning. and again with the winds, it's

going to feel chilly and the winds will stay with us through the day tomorrow. we start off around 50 degrees and we're only going to warmup for the lower 50s tomorrow. fox 5 accu weather 7 day forecast, a far cry from the 70s we just had. wednesday looks cool. 50 for a high. warmer on thursday. 52 -- i should say there's at least a chance that as we get into late thursday, we might have a couple showers. but no big deal. for the most part it looks dry. and we have unsettled weather coming in. >> thanks, gary. looked more like a hockey game than a race car after jeff gordan crashed. then the fight was on. members of boyer's

crew confronted members of gordon's crew. been getting under his skin all year long crashing into him and he just had enough of all of it. the talk of the town on tmz, the voice of elmo accused of a relationship with an under aged boy. we did speak about this earlier in the broadcast. he denies the allegations so what now? >> well, what now is that for some reason, he has taken a leave of absence from sesame street. we've been working on this story for five days. the puzzling thing is he's saying that the relationship he had with after the boy became an adult he's now 23, sesame street is backing that saying that they don't believe there's any evidence of under age affair there. nonetheless, he has taken the leave to say he needs

to deal with the defamation issue. i don't know what that means. why you basically quit your job temporarily to do what? he's not going public or anything. so there's something more to this. and i don't know whether sesame street told him but it is interesting that one of the things that sesame street told us was that they said look, elmo is bigger than anyone person. and i think what they are saying is don't tie elmo to this guy. >> and maybe he's doing the same. on behalf of sesame street saying take care of this and come back. >> let me change gears. first they broke up and now justin bieber says he is not giving up on selina gomez. so what's going on? >> well, sadly, i know something

about this. >> it's your job right? >> i know but it bothers me i even know about this. we broke this story yesterday that justin bieber believes he's going to get back with selena. they are kids and they broke up a lot. this is not the first time they've broken up. they have broken up numerous times and then they get back together. will it happen again? i don't know. justin thinks it will. he thinks he's going to get back with her. and when you think about it, he's such a huge star. pretty magnetic guy that if he wants to get back with her, she'll probably come back to him. that's the way the relationship has gone. please don't ask me any more about justin bieber's love life. >> i'm sure fans are happy to see them together. thanks as always. >> okay. see ya. >> i was at a dinner party on saturday. they have a
